Verbatim:
"I'm, like, literally in there now!"
"I, like, opened it yesterday?"
"I, like, purposely downloaded everything?"
"This is, like, April 22nd?"
I know I'm growing older. Much older. And I majored in English. And yet, and yet . . . I have a difficult time respecting anyone, no matter how intelligent they are, who speaks like this.
I, like, had to totally ignore them? SMH.
